A
Mercado Municipal Adolfo Lisboa
This imposing cast-iron city market building opened in 1882, a copy in miniature of Paris’s famed Les Halles market. Although the art-nouveau ironwork was imported from Europe, the place has acquired a distinctly Amazonian character. In and around the market, you can purchase just about anything, from leather hats and índio crafts to bizarre fruits and traditional medicines.

Amazonas Ecoshop
Smallish store with art, jewelry and other gift items. The selection is a bit lacking, but most items are made in the region and certified ‘fair trade.’ An in-store coffee shop has appealing coffees and pastries.

Artesanato da Amazônia
Once a terrific store for folk art; the good stuff here is getting buried by a growing amount of predictable kitsch. But you can still find some quality items, especially indigenous masks and handmade weapons.

Foto Nascimento
You've got a jungle trip tomorrow and that new 2GB memory chip you bought online isn't £$&%!! formatting. You can buy a replacement here - and other photo supplies - but don't count on eBay prices.

Galeria Amazônica
Right on Praça São Sebastião, this is Manaus’s top shop for genuine-article Amazonian handiwork, including gorgeous basketwork, pottery and folk art. Prices are on the high side, but so is the quality.
